Description

Reality is broken. Somebody has to file the paperwork.

John Doe always thought his dad was bonkers—ranting about secret lizard people and a shadowy Deep State pulling the strings. Then a newspaper from another timeline lands on his doorstep, and things get… weird.

A hidden message leads him to an unlisted office with an extra-secret elevator that only has one button: Down.

And down the rabbit hole he goes.

At the very bottom, John discovers the organization keeping the world blissfully unaware of the truth that’s all around us: Reality is kind of insane.

Get ready to dive headfirst into the mind-warping, bureaucratic belly of the beast that is The Bureau of the Bizarre. Their job? To catalog, contain, and hide away all the weird things the universe spits out when it’s bored or drunk.

Reality is broken. Somebody has to file the paperwork.

John Doe always thought his dad was bonkers—ranting about secret lizard people and a shadowy Deep State pulling the strings. Then a newspaper...


A Note From the Publisher

And you know what? That’s hot. You’re hot. Honestly, it’s kind of intimidating.

Well, this is me giving you a nudge. If you like Sci-Fi and giggles, I have a book just for you!

Advance Praise

"4/5 Stars on GoodReads!" - Kevin Kane, neglecting to mention that he's talking about his other novel... and slightly rounding up.

Kevin Kane's Mom: "It was very funny, honey. I liked the garden gnome." 

Kevin Kane’s friend, who swears he read the book: “Yeah, I read it. I humorously exhaled through my nose a few times. Dude, stop using me to justify your poor life decisions.” 

Rev. Ivan Stang, co-founder of The Church of the SubGenius, on the author: “When did you join the Church? I can’t find any records of you being a minister or even a mere customer on any level.”

Sacrificing a goat to the unknowable Elder gods and crossing his fingers. Also, telling random people, "Hey, read my book."
